Photos of your creations and invention would be terrific. I knew an old Italian builder, carpenter who once built timber boats in Italy.
He was a torpedo boat crewman in WW2. Was present and watching from afar the landing of Allies on the shores of Europe. I asked if he attacked any of the ships...............his reply was " Are you crazy ?" He said it was like daylight for a week...continuous flares at night to land ordinance, tanks, men, troop carriers, he said it would have been suicide to attempt attack.
He became one of Brisbane's, Queensland, Australia's, best builders when he moved here after the war.
He's been gone 15 years or so now, yet the homes he built, the ships wheels he made for sailing clubs, will be there for many years.
